Come and discover German literature in the
Madrid Book Fair taking place from the 27th of May to the 12th

most important editorial and literary gathering in the country.
Held for the first time in 1993, the fair has
practically been celebrated every year, in the stunning gardens of Retiro Park, Madrid.
Germany is the guest country in this year’s
edition of the event, which will feature in all the activities lined up and

diverse events taking place in May and June 2011.
The Federation of Publishers’ Association of
Spain, linked to the Madrid Book Fair, organises numerous book presentations
with the presence of famous authors who attend to sign their latest work. In
addition, there are chats and open forums scheduled in the event regarding the
German Book Market and the diffusion of literature in the German and Spanish media.
Finally, there are diverse activities on offer aimed at younger readers.
The over 400 publishers, grouped in marquees according
to genre, can be visited from 11am to 2pm and from 6pm to 9.30pm from Monday to
Friday, and Saturday and Sunday from 10.30am to 14.30pm, and 5pm to 21.30pm.
A unique opportunity to rediscover German
